We love fitness influencer Katie Austin on her super-fun, high-energy workoutsCand her special focus on toning the all-important booty. The next time you’ll need a quick workout that can be done anytime, anywhere, follow along with the video above. You just need a resistance bandCand you can still do this 15-minute sequence even if you do not have one.
This short but efficient routine starts with a warmup filled with jumping Jacks and dynamic stretches. Be sure to breathe in and out deeply as you get the body prepped to sweat.
Next, grab your resistance band (we love to this set from Theraband) If you don’t have one, though, it’s completely okay to help keep following along using just your body weight. Or, Austin says, grab a few hand weights or perhaps cans from your pantry to make the moves harder.
With your arms straight in front of you, gently pulse them away from one another, stretching the band, to warm up your upper body.
Extend your arms too deep and pull recorded on the band one side at a time to begin working your back muscles. Once you’re comfortable there, add a side lunge towards the move to up the intensity.
After several lunges on both sides, extend your arms behind you, having a slight bend inside your knees, and when again pulse the arms out and in.
Next, Austin shows you how to wrap the resistance band around your ankles (and then, your thighs) for any number of leg and booty exercises. Each one comes equipped with a simple accessory for get the arms working, too.
Finally, you’ll remove your resistance band and make the right path down to the floor or perhaps your mat for abs, a few final booty exercises, along with a quick cool-down and stretch as the heart rate slows.
Finish by rolling your shoulders to shake off the workoutCand any stress or worries you have been carrying on that day, Austin says.
